... even a real road, its like driving through dunnottor woods. Matty managed to pull off a 40 point turn and get us headed away from our almost certain deaths to the inbreds that will live at the bottom of that road. We went a bit further on that road we were originally on and matty came to him senses and we turned back. So after driving 82 miles in the forest we are back to a normal road.

... soaring over a km near vertical into the sky, the photos really do not do it justice. Due to the fires which are still burning we are contained to the valley which is really beautiful, it's around 7miles long and 1 mile wide or 7.3 x 1.6kms. It's relatively flat with camping grounds, shops, museums and the like. From here however small hikes can be taken part-way up into the canyon. I took the hike to Mirror ...
